Vacation rentals in Archontiki

Firstly, ahuge thank you to George and Christina for letting us stay at their wonderful Property. As hosts they were absolutely wonderful and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived until we left . Christina is so lovely and showed us round the property how to use everything and seemed that absolutely nothing would be to much trouble if we needed anything at all. We have stayed in some wonderful properties all over Europe, Australia, Japan, and Morocco . This is definitely one of our favourite Airbnb‘s we have used. Firstly, the property is exactly as described. The photos are a mirror image of what you will see hen you arrive. One of the best things about the property is how homely it feels and the house has everything you need. My boys loved the basketball & pool the outside movie projector tops it off. If you are looking for the perfect location in Crete , look no further . 10:10 if not more . Ollie/emna X

Everything was great. The apartman was clean, peaceful and equipped with everything we needed. The location is perfect for driving to anywhere on the island, but the nearby city is also worth exporing. The host was really nice to us, she was ready to answer all our questions. We even get some homemade food from her, which made our day.

Villa Emmanuela is the absolute dream: meticulously clean, very high quality and tastefully decorated and has everything you need, the perfect "second" home. Particularly noteworthy is the explicit hospitality of the host families, we felt cared for at all times and spoiled with delicious attentions.

We enjoyed our stay in Maria’s apartment. The rooms were exactly like shown on Aibnb: it was very clean, the beds were comfortable , the kitchen was well equipped. The house is in a quiet area of the village. Maria left us little Christmas gifts and an array of Greek delicacies. Thank you, Maria.

This was the nicest Airbnb I've ever stayed in! To note, though, that this review is for the East Villa, as we had booked the West Villa, but the host kindly offered to switch us. The patio area of the East Villa looks nicer than the West Villa, as it's bigger and has a breathtaking view of the ocean. The villas are only a few months old, and everything was spotless. Mary was always responsive, which was crucial as we had booked last minute. She arranged for a contact person to meet us at a location nearby, who then led us to the villa. The location is a bit remote, but it's close to Lake Kournas and completely private. The village of Kournas is also nearby, and Chania is about an hour away. It was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave! The highlights for me were the view, the pool, the rainfall shower, and the pillows. There was also a bottle of wine in the fridge, and even though we broke something at the place, they were very polite and didn't mind at all. Truly a dream!

The apartment was very suitable for our needs, 6 adults + 2 children. We stayed at the beginning of May and the weather favored us, the pool was in heavy use. The apartment was located in a small, idyllic, and peaceful village. I got to know the residents of the village, with my grandson, and got a very heartfelt impression of local people. There were a few good eateries, a bakery, a cafe, and a couple of small shops within walking distance. However, a rental car or scooter is a must if you want to explore the wider surroundings. The village has small alleys, so you can't drive to the apartment, at least not by a larger car, but the parking lot is about 100m away. There are plenty of nature and hiking attractions worth exploring (20-40 km). The rooms and equipment of the apartment were at least enough for our size configuration for all needs. A pleasant surprise was also a welcome pack of groceries waiting for us on the kitchen table. We highly recommend this property!

We have had the most magical week staying here. We had our 4 year old daughter and then my teenage daughter and her friend. The space worked perfectly for the five of us. The house is stunning, the views are breathtaking. Maria’s Taverna has the most delicious traditional Greek food. We also discovered the Enchanted Woodland walk which you can get to right from the doorstep- our little one enjoyed following the red and white markings along the trail. We hope to return as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

10/10 would recommend! Everything was according to the description and worth the price. Our apartament was clean and spacious, very well equipped for daily use. Odisseas & Evita were available and very helpful while sharing their recommendations. The town is small and rather quiet in April but the views and surroundings were most beautiful.
